Shopping on social media may not be big right now, but by 2015, it's expected to explode... A new infographic by has found that “social commerce sales are expected to bring in $30 billion each year by 2015, with half of web sales to occur through social media,” writes Samantha Murphy of Mashable. Currently, one in three small businesses use Facebook, while there are over 42 million fan pages on Facebook. Seventeen percent of those sell products on the pages. Facebook fans are 79 percent more likely than a non-fan to purchase a product, and 74 percent of fans are more likely to recommend a company or product. The social media site also drives 26 percent of referral traffic to company websites. Right now ”20 percent of shoppers prefer to purchase products via Facebook than the brand’s website”— and that number is expected to climb. Via Lauren Moss, Martin Hombre Hormiga

This post is from author Teri Conrad and is an excellent reminder of how storytelling is re-shaping marketing. Teri makes great points here: Success in marketing is about applying systems and following through. Even if you have compelling stories, without a system very little is going to happen. People buy the Why of your product/service, not the What (features). Embody the "what can I give?" perspective. Focus on creating fabulous experiences for customers/clients. Know and communication your purpose -- get clear on that.
Points 2-5 are all about how you frame your stories and then convey them. I would add one more -- make sure you are authentic!
Using stories in your marketing can be very powerful. Follow these principles to ensure success with your business storytelling.

Hi Karen, thank you so much for appreciation my suggestions to you! I found this article...it seems interesting! Have a great new week! :-)

In the world of website development, they say content is king. In the world of training/education, you can provide truckloads of content, but it's really context that rules.
I like this article! Hey -- in business we are constantly having to educate people about our product or service. So here's an idea for you -- use scenarios in your presentations to get everyone involved in on-the-spot learning. Providing someone an experience of your company, product, service builds instant connection, rapport, and transfers knowledge.
The author has a terrific diagram in the article about creating scenarios along with lots of great links.
Now if you are a trainer, scenarios are not new to you, but I bet you will find the info and links shared here a valuable resource!
Thanks @IdeaLearningGroup for sending me this link :)
